If you’ve been active on tumblr lately, you may notice that they’ve started running a new type of ad in the right-hand sidebar unit. Specifically, there’s been an uptick in ads that auto-play loud audio, some of which are even un-mutable.
We’ve addressed this in Anti-Capitalism version 1.3.0, which adds a new option:
(small mea culpa: the naming here is slightly confusing. this will *always* remove the sidebar ad, even if it doesn’t happen to be one that plays audio, because we don’t have the ability to distinguish between them. the other difference is that it does it in a way that also takes care of the audio-visual component instead of just hiding the ad, like some adblockers have been doing)
let us know what you think! I’m probably going to be going to bed soon, but you can always reach us in our ask box, our support blog, or our live support chat. In general the dev team has less time to reply to asks nowadays because of both real-life obligations and the sheer quantity of asks we receive, so you’ll generally have a better time with the support chat, if you can catch one of us online. If nobody is online, you always can leave a message for us to read later. thanks for understanding!
(one last plug—If you’re interested in helping us run New XKit, for example by answering asks or helping other users with questions + problems, come stop by and introduce yourself! we don’t bite, we promise!)
I can’t get xkit to work. It always says it can’t reach the servers so I took it off.
xkit or new xkit? cause that’s two different things. Make sure you’re trying new x-kit.
“eevee’s evolutions are determined by moveset” – demonstrably false. jury’s out on nicknames, have yet to see a case where pyro/rainer/sparky nicknames have failed when the nicknames were confirmed to have been saved by the servers
“the green pulse around the nearby list indicates you’re facing in the right direction” – the green pulse indicates that the nearby list has been updated – it doesn’t necessarily mean something’s changed, just that the list has essentially ‘refreshed’
“tapping a pokeball after missing will recover it” – this is just straight-up not the case
“you can hatch eggs by shaking your device/spinning your device/any sort of stationary movement” – pokemon go DOES NOT USE A PEDOMETER, the step counter is based on your GPS location moving
“downloading offline maps for google maps will decrease load times” – this seemed legit because it is the case for ingress, but it is not here – pokemon go does not use google maps’ API for location data.
“you can email nintendo with proof of disability to unlock different settings” – nintendo did not develop the game, no one would set them to be something that you have to contact the developer to unlock, and they would not require proof to change said settings
“the leaves indicate a pokemon is going to spawn there” – it seems to just be cosmetic, but may indicate that a pokemon will spawn somewhere soon
“different weather conditions affect pokemon spawns” – the one i heard the most is “storms = electric and water pokemon”, this has no basis in reality
one that’s true:
some pokemon do have altered spawn rates based on what time it is! clefair and the gastly line appear more frequently at night.
